From what I know it is about the pension plan but these workers are being so short sited, or should I say the Union people. I knew someone who worked for the post office and he had stated every year the mail gets less and less and less. It is only a fraction of what it used to be.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-10327201054767458242016-07-07T22:56:01.516-04:002016-07-07T22:56:01.516-04:00Certainly Susan if they don't have pensions pa...Certainly Susan if they don't have pensions paid direct to their banks.

With prices already so high at the post office, going on strike and jeopardizing your job is kid of silly. At some point postal workers will be replaced by machines for the few people who like to MAIL things.<br /><br />Thank you for the sweet comment about my intros....

And they're going to charge us $10 if we don't collect parcels from the post office soon enough. That'll win them more friends, won't it?<br /><br />Love JD Robb's books. And when she writes as Nora Roberts.<br /><br />Have a great week, Jo. :-)Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.com
